Today is the day to OH MY GOD

The Chicago White Sox have won the World Series, the first time since 1917. The entire Zulkey franchise is taking the day off to make funeral arrangements, since we can die now.

Two blasts from the past of this year.

Interview with Jonathan Eig in August of this year (we are friends now so I know he's actually happy for us):

"White Sox? 2005? (Of course as I write this they just dropped two games to the Kansas City Royals, of all teams.
Sorry, but the White Sox don’t have the pitching to win it all. Come to think of it, they don’t have the hitting either."

But before that, from my mom, in June:

"Would you please tell me whether this year I can count on my beloved White Sox to win the pennant?
The answer, simply, is yes. The Sox (the WHITE ones) will not only take the pennant, but the series as well. So, book your flights, make your hotel reservations, save all your programs."

(Just goes to show, Mrs. Zulkey.com knows all so send her your questions today.)
